    I don't know if I would raise this hand, even from the button. You have 1/4 of your stack in the pot preflop. I think I would have tried to limp (actually I probably flop preflop) and catch 2 pair,str8, etc. Putting only four thousand make it easier to get away from after the all-in raise. Most of the things that help you on the flop ( K or Q) might not even have you ahead. After the flop I would think that at least one of your opponets has AA (again with no reads I could be wrong). If your up against AA you only have one out for the win (the Q). The fact that that one out hit will not change the facts that it was a long shot. I think it was a good fold.

    Again take this with a grain of salt, but I think thats how I would have played it.

    your stack is less than 10BB, you want to push or fold

    the reason i didnt push is because, the last 2 hands i played that everyone saw was AA, and i was getting a fair bit of respect for my chip stack. I do agree that raising with KQo was risky, but since i showed some big hands right before i felt confident in making that move.

    Default well

    normally i like the limp but here

    you should have pushed knowing you could hit the quad Queens

    just my take on it

    Just push. You are happy to win the blinds here. Ecstatic maybe.
